monkeyface

my fiancee is asking me to find the same info!!! what should she group together? all of my finances go in one group i would say- like my bank statement, employment letter, tax return, etc. but what about the rest of the docunents? she wants to feel organized and confident!!

thanks a bunch for the reply ygr. we just got her MNL number by paying the $18 and calling in, and we were told just to print the confirmation e-mail that would be sent following the conversation. now, nobody take my word for this as we might find that they really want that darn letter on interview day, but our gal on the phone said the printed e-mail will take the place of the letter. police clearance must be on most folk's mission critical list- i tend to agree on that one. my gal spent some time in a foreign country so besides the NBI clearance she needs one from the other country. thanks again for your input ygr- most valuable.

does she need both NBI and barangay clearance to take to the interview???

some of you have spent a lot of time reading posts of K-1 interview experiences and you might have also been through the process with your significant other- so if you can, answer this question for us...

if you had to break down the documents needed for the interview into three categories: mission critical, probably needed, or don't bother- what would you put in the respective categories?

example:

MISSION CRITICAL

photos of the two of you together

petitioner's divorce decree(s)

affidavit of support

current employment letter

2009 tax return

PROBABLY NEEDED

chat transcripts

NOA2

petitioner G325

beneficiary G325

DON'T BOTHER

copy of the I-129

2008, 2007 tax returns

letter from the consulate with interview date

her interview is in Manila, so please respond if you have any consulate-specific information.

thanks a whole lot!

Thanks a lot for your information and support!!! I won't worry about it now. We are together right now anyhow and that is a lot more than can be said for other couples in the same situation. See, now I feel thankful!!

My fiancee and I have been closely watching the historical processing times for the California Center here:

The problem is now they are working on the 9th of June, but ours was opened on the 7th!!!! Is this bad news? Does this mean that they will probably ask us for more documentation?

Thanks!
